EAGER Study Visit in Palencia, Spain

The second Study Visit within the EAGER project will be organized on 26th and 27th of February, 2025 in Palencia, Spain.

Host will be the Agricultural and Agri-Food Technology Centre (ITAGRA), and this time partners and stakeholders from the participating regions will get familiar with agrophotovoltaics good practices from the rural region of Palencia, Spain.

Agro-photovoltaic (APV) system presents a solution to the pressing need for increased solar energy capacity while resolving competition over land use. With the EU aiming for significant renewable energy expansion, APV can bridge land optimization difficulties by combining solar energy production with crop cultivation, therefore producing energy and food at the same time, while offering investment opportunities for partners in this area and fostering collaboration with local communities in their transition to renewable energy.

The EAGER project facilitates the adoption of APV across partner regions. By fostering a shared understanding of this technology, identifying best practices, and enhancing policy instruments, this project is paving the way for greener future.
